Female CEO Says Women 'Shouldn't Be President' Because Of 'Different Hormones,' 'Biblical Reasoning'



A female CEO in Texas has come under fire this week for saying a woman “shouldn’t be president” because of “different hormones” and “biblical sound reasoning.”

Cheryl Rios, CEO of Dallas marketing and public relations firm Go Ape Marketing, wrote on Facebook that she’d move “to Canada” if Hillary Clinton became head of state.

“With the hormones we have, there is no way [a woman] should be able to start a war,” she wrote in her post, per KTVT. “Yes I run my own business and I love it and I am great at it BUT that is not the same as being the President, that should be left to a man, a good, strong, honorable man.”

Rios said she supports “equal rights,” but stressed that “there’s an old biblical sound reasoning why a woman shouldn’t be president,” according to the station. Rios, however, did not cite a particular biblical verse to support her view.

Assuming, arguendo, that hormones start wars, what hormone does she think would be the most likely to start a war? I'm thinking it would not be estrogen.

It's the same thing as always - wait for the right conditions, say something stupid, and hope a lot of people see it. Free advertising.

of her own company. I tried to find out about Go Ape employee demographics, but couldn't find anything. I'm thinking she probably has male employees. Wouldn't Biblical Reasoning say that women should not be the boss of men but be subservient to them?

If we discount a presidential candidate re: female hormones, than shouldn't we discount one based on male hormones as well? After all, testosterone is a hormone of aggression and their hormones can start wars as well. Their hormones even cause some men to think with their 2nd head rather than use their brains.
